    Albondigas Soup
    Deanne R.

    Came in today while visiting my mother in law. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated right away. Wow the service here was top notch. They seem to have a bar area looks super cool, but unfortunately we don't drink. Anyway the chips, salsa, bean dip and more salsa was yummy while you wait for the food. Someone was always constantly refill our drinks, our chips and salsa. I was really impressed. Our food was great as well. Unfortunately we don't live closer or we would be here all the time. Highly recommend and I would definitely be back soon

    I've visited before during happy hour in the bar area (note: happy hour prices are only available if seated in the bar). The service was excellent, but I was disappointed to be charged $4.50 for soda water (a first for me) and a $2.95 surcharge for habanero sauce. The food was average and lacked seasoning, and I found it surprising to be charged for hot sauce at a Mexican restaurant. Overall, the pricing and experience have led me to decide not to return.

    We've gone to this restaurant a handful of times because my little ones like the ceviche. But every time we go, we get less and less. How is this $42 worth? And to top it off, it tastes old. I get it, it's Monday so it's probably left over from the weekend, but come on!!

    Best Carne Asada tacos in the Antelope Valley! I also love the carnitas tacos and the machaca!…read moreJust awesome! The place is always so clean and proudly display their A rating right by the door. They've got about eight styles of meats to choose from and the prices for the tacos are SO affordable. They also offer a full menu of classic Mexican plates which include rice and beans... they also have menudo and lots of other stuff. If you're dining in be sure to get the complimentary chips and salsa while you wait. The table salsa is to die for... it is superb. The owner is the nicest person you'll ever meet as is her whole staff. Highly recommended.... go try it! Mike Piccirillo West Palmdale/Quartz Hill

There was one cashier on the phone and two other girls serving tables, so it took a minute before we could place our order. It's a small, casual spot with people constantly coming in and out. I ordered a sopes plate with a taco de tripas. The sopes themselves were actually really good, but unfortunately my rice and beans were cold, so I didn't eat them. The tripas were overcooked. So crunchy they felt like eating popcorn, which was disappointing. My husband ordered a torta de carnitas and a taco al pastor. The al pastor marinade was pretty mediocre, nothing special, and the torta was just okay. We also ordered a burrito with asada and rice only and again, the rice came out cold while the meat was hot. They did bring us chips and salsa, and the red spicy salsa was actually good, probably the best part of the meal. Overall, this place is okay but very mediocre. With how expensive eating out is these days, I'm really picky about where I spend my money, and this didn't feel worth it. There are definitely better, Mexican spots in Lancaster that I'd rather go to. I probably won't be coming back.

    When I moved back to California 5 years ago, my boyfriend brought me to his favorite hometown taco…read morespot -- Classico Tacos -- and we've been dedicated ever since. This place isn't just a quick stop, it's a tradition for us. I literally drive an hour just to get these tacos, and they are always worth it. The food never misses -- incredible flavor, consistent quality, and you can taste the love every single time. Today I switched it up and got a burrito... and WOW. So good. Like, sit-in-your-car-and-savor-it good. On top of the food, the service is amazing. Everyone is super nice, genuinely friendly, and they always call me "sweetie" on the phone -- which just makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. This is the kind of spot you keep coming back to for years: comfort food, hometown vibes, great people, and seriously good eats. If you're thinking about stopping by, do it. And if you're debating the drive... trust me, it's worth every mile.

I was just going to pick up a few tacos for myself and my kids and right there on the board was "Family Meal" which was 9 tacos of any kind (asada, carnitas, pollo, or al pastor.), chips & salsa, rice & beans, and choices of salsa for $35 I am happy to say, the food was delicious, prepared right, salsas were great, service was great and I have food left over. I have found a new taco place and it's so much closer than my other favorite taco place. Try out the family deal and enjoy.

    In town this week, my brother and I stopped by Don Gus for some old fashion Mexican Lunch…read more The food here is amazing and feels like its home made. We started with home made chips, fresh salsa and an amazing bean dip that had what tastes like chorizo and a hot sauce mix, it is addictive, a must have. Then we ordered our main meals, the Flautas have a lot of flavor and chicken served with guacamole and sour cream, we had the appetizer version, well worth it. We also had a nice sized 2 item lunch special, Chicken hard shell taco, cheese Enchilada typically with Rice and Beans, today I felt like a full plate of beans, all of the food was just like my mom made it, so good. They have many other lunch special options. We decided that a few drinks were a must. My brother ordered the Large (gigantic) Strawberry Margarita, not sure how he finished it on his own but it looked amazing, he said it had a lot of flavor. I had a large Modelo beer that really tied in the entire meal. The interior is old school Mexican theme, with various classic paintings with very plush furniture. The staff is very friend and come by to check on you on the regular. We felt well taken care of, we cannot wait to visit again. This is a hidden gem.

    Okay we ordered take out. Yeah I know you always get F$@/ed over with take out and drive thru…read more Got home and first they advised they don't include chips and salsa with take out? (WTH!! If I was in the restaurant you'd give them. Was the thought in my head) dude must have heard my mind cause he said I'll include since your order is so large. The tray of tacos that were supposed to be a mix of 3 hard shell ground beef tacos, 4 asada, 1 chorizo , 1 shredded beef and 3 chicken with soft shells turned into 6 hard shells with burned beef (maybe) and 3 hard chicken shells. The Albondigas Soup didn't even come with the rice and cilantro! My sons Pescado Tostada de Ceviche and Camaron Tostada de Ceviche didn't have the actual tostadas so I am really wondering if they forgot to give us a bag. The posole Don't have any radish or cabbage to add to it. And my daughter in law tossed the tamarind out cause she said it tasted spoiled . My hard not soft shelled chicken taco had bones in it. Please the pic! But note my mother who's currently sick said her Albondigas soup tasted ok to her. Let just say for the $$ I spent I am very unhappy!! I am thinking of calling the inspectors about the taste and freshness of this food as I am already feeling funny. I implore you to stop and rethink then change destination's before heading to this place. I ended up having to eat a bowl of cream of wheat cause my stomach felt funny.
